					<description>I used article marketing for over a year and stopped because I was only getting 10-20 opt-ins a month. I didn't get any opt-ins from articles after I stopped. I read your article and started using articles again. Guess what I now get people going to my blog from articles. Thanks for the reminder.</description>

					<description>Quick question: What would be the problem in using your article to drive traffic to your site? On one hand if you basically say, "Go to my site" without giving any valuable information, I can see that as a definite mistake. Do you think even if you give valuable information first that trying to drive them to your site is not a good idea?

&lt;em&gt;Editor's reply:

Thank you for your question-- There is no problem with using article marketing to drive traffic to your site--that is one of the 3 reasons listed here as to why people use article marketing :-) 

But, if your question is "can use &lt;strong&gt;my article itself&lt;/strong&gt; to link to my site" then the answer is different--you cannot mention your own site, services, business, products or affiliate products in your article body as that would be considered promotional or self-serving. 

Your author resource box is the appropriate place to toot your own horn :-) The resource box appears below your article, and that is the place where you focus on driving traffic to your site. 

So, save the promotional info for your resource box and only put educational info (not about yourself or your site) in your article.&lt;/em&gt;</description>

					<description>Article marketing and submission is certainly a profitable opportunity to drive traffic to your web site for the reasons you highlight.

Together with focussed organic search optimisation and other traffic generating methods such as blogs, video publishing on YouTube and similar it is one of the options in an overall marketing mix not to be overlooked.</description>
